[2025 Jiande Attraction] Travel Guide for Xin'an River Scenic Area (Updated Mar)

The Baisha Bridge is located over the Xin'an River in Jiande City, Zhejiang Province. It is a magnificent bluestone bridge built in 1960. The bridge is 362 meters long, 24 meters high, and 11 meters wide. The main bridge has six arches, each with a main span of 50 meters, forming a slight arc. The railings are carved with 256 large and small stone lions, each with a unique and lifelike expression. Construction of the Baisha Bridge began on September 1, 1959. Because the Xin'an River Dam had already been closed, the water level was low, creating favorable construction conditions. The project progressed rapidly, with the foundation work for the six piers completed in just 42 days. During construction, workers overcame difficulties such as the lack of large-scale machinery and equipment, and through technical innovation and teamwork, they efficiently completed the construction tasks. On May 2, 1960, the Ministry of Communications held a "National On-site Meeting for the Rapid Construction of Large-Span Stone Arch Bridges" in Jiande, showcasing the construction experience and achievements of the Baisha Bridge. The design of the Baisha Bridge combines the structural features of the Zhaozhou Bridge and the Lugou Bridge, resulting in a light, lively, and magnificent structure. The bridge body is made of bluestone slabs, making it both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. The railings on both sides of the bridge deck are carved with 252 small stone lions, enhancing the decorative and ornamental value of the bridge. The Baisha Bridge is not only an important link and landmark connecting the two banks of the Xin'an River, but also a provincial cultural relic protection unit due to its historical and cultural value. Despite the vicissitudes of time, the Baisha Bridge still retains its charm and has become a beautiful scenic spot in the area.

The first stop of Jiande Tourism is the 17-degree mountain water sports base, where 17° wind is blowing and 17° water temperature is felt. You can take a thrilling motorboat or play a watercraft banana boat. Of course, you can also sail a sailboat, so in the seventeen-degree water world, are you heart-warming?

The landscape lights on both sides of the strait show us a unique landscape of Xin'anjiang, accompanied by the thin clouds of the mountains and rivers, like dreams, like a fairyland. I have seen the night view of the Bund in Shanghai many times. If the night view of Shanghai is a graceful and fashionable lady, the stars are a little bit, and the jewelry is awkward; then the night view of Xinan River is a fairy breeze, like a dream. Like a fairy weaving yarn, it gives us unlimited solitude and ethereality.

At the Fengyuexuan Wharf, standing in the pavilion, Xin'anjiang's 17-degree water temperature and the hot air in the air blend with each other, atomizing into steam, dreaming like a dream, the river is looming in the misty whiteness. "The cool water world, the dream of Xin'anjiang", a piece of Jiangnan ink painting is natural and unforgettable. In a short while, a dragon boat broke through the fog and opened it like a dragon in the water, flying up and down, scratching the quiet river surface and turning it out.
